Action Alert-Please Oppose Lead Ban by Thurs Jan 19!!!

[Marc Marcantonio]

Great news! Due to the overwhelming support against this bill, it appears (at this time) the Committee Chair has killed HB 2241, and the prime sponsor of the bill may also be withdrawing his support. It has been dropped from the Agenda of the House Environment Committee completely for this session!

We are also working hard to make sure this bill never comes up again; more to follow after Thursday.

So unless something strange happens, it appears we were successful in persuading our State Legislature that HB 2241 is a bad idea!

I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for taking the time to write to your legislators, and the members of the Environment Committee!

Sometimes it is hard to believe that we can make a difference, and that taking the time to get involved can provide the results we want, but it worked this time for sure!

Any future correspondence with your legislators and the Environment Committee members concerning HB 2241 should be a "Thank you" for listening and supporting your concerns!

Congratulations to all!

ciao,
Marc Marcantonio
